Smaller health care merger proceeds without U of L
One week after Gov. Steve Beshear killed a planned merger between Saint Joseph Health System, Jewish Hospital, St. Mary’s Health Care, and the University of Louisville’s University Hospital, two of the players involved announced plans to move forward without UofL. Saint Joseph and Jewish have made public their plans to merge their health care systems under a new name, KentuckyOne Health, creating the largest health system in Kentucky. The system will collaborate with all health care providers, enhancing existing relationships and developing new partnerships.
